Cultivation: Starting with a Dual Cultivation Technique at the Immortal Rank

17: Chapter 17 A Clever Test of True Feelings, A Blessed Nest Welcomes a Beautiful WomanA few more days passed, and it was a warm evening.

Inside the hall of the Immortal Cave, the delicate fragrance of spiritual tea curled upward.

Li Yifei was discussing the next stage of the Medicinal Pill sales plan with Steward Bai Zhi and Qin Wanqing, while Qin Baobao leaned against his shoulder like a docile kitten, listening until she became drowsy.

Women like Liu Ruyan and Xiao Waner sat to the side, chatting while working on some delicate needlework.

Han Yueling still sat a bit further away, her gaze vigilantly scanning the room like a loyal guard.

Meanwhile, Luo Yunxi watched this harmonious scene and felt the thick, warm Spiritual Qi in the air, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She took a deep breath, knowing she could no longer wait.

She suddenly stood up and sighed with longing, ”Sigh, the more I look, the more envious I become. Senior Brother Li, this place of yours is no mere Immortal Cave; it’s clearly a divine Blessed Nest!”

Her voice was crisp and carried a hint of charm, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

Han Yueling immediately furrowed her brows, a bad premonition rising in her heart.

Li Yifei stopped his conversation with Steward Bai Zhi and looked at her with a smile, gesturing for her to continue.

Having gained everyone’s attention, Luo Yunxi didn’t feel timid; instead, she seemed even more spirited. She walked with light steps to a spot not far from Li Yifei, her beautiful eyes darting about with a mix of liveliness and testing. In a half-joking tone, she said:

”Seriously, Senior Brother Li, does this Blessed Nest of yours... still need more people?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

Qin Baobao’s eyes widened in pleasant surprise, while Han Yueling’s face had already darkened.

Luo Yunxi seemed not to notice; she winked playfully and continued to recommend herself, ”What do you think of me?”

She puffed out her chest, fully displaying her exquisite figure, and briskly announced her ”qualifications,” ”A True Spirit Root, cultivation at the Third level of Qi Refining, a lively personality, a guarantee not to cause you trouble, and I can even keep Baobao entertained every day!”

”Yay! Yunxi is staying too! That’s wonderful!” Qin Baobao was the first to clap in approval, her face filled with innocent joy.

”Luo Yunxi! What are you playing at!” Han Yueling finally couldn’t take it anymore and stood up abruptly, shouting in a low, angry, and anxious voice.

The playful look on Luo Yunxi’s face vanished instantly. She turned around and looked seriously at her best friend, saying word for word, ”Moon Spirit, I am not messing around. This is the most serious decision I’ve ever made in my life.”

The smile on Li Yifei’s face remained, but his gaze turned profound. He spoke slowly, his voice calm yet powerful, ”Junior Sister Yunxi, this is no joking matter. Entering my Li family is a lifelong commitment with no room for regret. Have you thought this through?”

His words elevated Luo Yunxi’s seemingly joking confession to an incredibly solemn level, forcing her to make a final choice with no way back.

Luo Yunxi met his gaze, which seemed capable of seeing through one’s heart, without the slightest retreat.

She took a deep breath, set aside all her charm and liveliness, and gave Li Yifei a solemn, graceful bow. With her head lowered, her voice was exceptionally clear and resolute:

”Yunxi has thought it through very clearly. I am willing to enter the Li family, serve Senior Brother, and seek the great dao of longevity together, even if it means death!”

For a moment, the entire hall was so quiet that a dropped needle could be heard.

The half-joking probe had, at this moment, transformed into an ironclad oath.

Looking at the stunning beauty bowing before him in obedience, the curve of Li Yifei’s lips finally widened into a satisfied smile.

”Good.”

He slowly uttered a single word, settling the matter.

”From this day forward, you shall be the sixth mistress of my Li family.”

Seeing Li Yifei agree, Luo Yunxi’s face immediately blossomed into a smile. She gave him another crisp, graceful bow and changed her form of address, ”Yunxi greets her husband.”

This ”husband” was said so naturally, as if it had been practiced a thousand times.

Beside them, Han Yueling was completely petrified.

She felt her worldview being repeatedly shattered, reshaped, and then shattered again in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
